I've been trying to find a cheap 80s MIJ strat from them for years now. Everyone seems in on the secret now and wants MIA prices for them.

If you're in LA you may as well just drop it off at Friedman's and have him ship it back after a restoral

Yeah $850 is on the low end, so I think everyone else's valuation is probably closer to the average. I've been good lately about negotiating low balls, every few months getting something for 10% below the lowest Reverb price in the last 6 months. It's sounding like if I can negotiate a good...

@Code001 Not sure, but was estimated by a reputable shop by me which eases some of my concerns; but obviously always the risk they missed something. Yeah it's the 100w so I assume more space to work with. @Geo EVH 5150iii 100w 6L6. No resonance pot on front or back, so I assume an older (not...

Yeah that's the gamble given my lack of experience. He has it listed for $500 but I was thinking if I could talk him down my worst case scenario would be doing all those repairs and then maybe bringing to a tech to finish troubleshooting (with the hope it's not a crazy fix). From googling it...

Filter caps (3 of them) and the screen grid resistors (4 of them), according to the footnote in the estimate the owner sent me.

Saw a busted one on FBM and considering it being my first attempt at amp repair. I'm mediocre at using a soldering iron and have been glancing at random schematics lately. Doubt I could actually design/improve anything but the repair estimate calls out some basic cap and resister replacement...

I listened to this for months before I found out it was AI, crestfallen. AI as a tool is great and will be helpful, but the world needs better safeguards/detection to prevent fraud/abuse.

Cool, more dudes need to do MK II/III stuff, especially with Mike B retiring.

More and more devices are starting to support it. The Darkglass Anagram uses it as it's main modeling function, though technically this is a bass focused product (you can still use it for guitar though).

Some random third party licensed the Sunn brand and circuits. They're only putting out copies of the solid state amps. Think I saw a quote from them about how the Model T is "too expensive" which should tell you all you need to know about this cash grab. The used original solid state amps go...

Anyone know the what the deal is with these reissues from Fender a while back? I see a single hole by me for $2k but have no idea how accurate the circuit is compared to the originals.

Lollar makes a fantastic PAF, you can also over/under wind it as well.

Don't get the hype with them. I don't need a guy who knows less about gear than me calling me every month. Bigger issue is they're also consistently the most expensive online retailer. Every time I buy something there is ALWAYS someone somewhere offering 10% off or no taxes or interest free...

Great clip, compared to his Mesa mods this one seems to still capture some donor amp (warmth of the Marshall).
